Joined by a new
raised regiment from Pennsylvania. Officers hastened to partake of the siege,
but were too late. British troops march into the interior to Winchester and
other places. Visit Gloucester, small village opposite York; nothing seen
there. Some of our officers return to Pennsylvania, others take their place.
Visit Williamsburg in company with young gentlemen of the country, on
horseback; spend a few days very agreeably. Militia employed leveling the
lines. Our brigade prepare for a long march.
